Data & Publics

Concept:

Humans are most empathetic towards fellow humans more than other beings or objects, as they can relate to their experiences. So what if objects were made from the same material that humans are made up of, would we be more empathetic towards it?

Environmental health is something that humans sometimes chose to ignore and dont really understand the repercussions. This idea uses pollution data to visualize tumor tissue on the globe, suggesting the intensity of health risk involved in the area.

We would be getting the live data for AQIUS (Air Quality Index United States standard) which is a number used by western government agencies to communicate to the public how polluted the air currently is or how polluted it is forecast to become. As the AQI increases, an increasingly large percentage of the population is likely to experience increasingly severe adverse health effects. Different countries have their own air quality indices, corresponding to different national air quality standards. Some of these are the Air Quality Health Index (Canada), the Air Pollution Index (Malaysia), and the Pollutant Standards Index (Singapore).
